Okay, first off; I've noticed you whippersnappers running across my lawn for a while now... WELL I WON'T HAVE IT! As of today I'm officially building a fence around my property to keep you troublemakers out! Hah! Anyway, I've recently purchased the new Pokemon games along with Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies. To refrain from spoilers, I shall not reveal anything major that pertains to the main plot for either game's story. Let us begin. Pokemon: Despite there only being 69 new pokemon, the game is pretty fun with loads of new features. I'm sure a lot of you have been keeping up with updates since the game's release, so I won't talk your ear off... yet... (Muahahaha) I decided to start with Chespin, and I am so glad I did! I love everything about Chesnaught from design to in-battle. As for the new fairy type, I've decided to celebrate by naming all of my pokemon after figures in Fairy Tales, Folklore and fictitious mediums of story telling. Luckily for me, that covers a wide range of names to choose from, but I can only do six pokemon per team, right? Chesnaught: Johannes from the Brothers Grimm tale "Faithful Johannes" where a Prince's servant sacrifices his life to save his master. Later in the story he is rewarded for his loyalty. Blaziken: If I could give him a nickname, it would probably be Midus in reference to the golden feather color in Blaziken's design. King Midus seems to fit because when he mega evolves, I can't help but think the red spike on his head resembles a crown. Raichu: Allfur based on the Brothers Grimm tale of the same name. Allfur was a princess who, due to a complicated situation, was forced to dawn a fur coat containing a pelt of every animal known in her kingdom and flee to a far away land. Eventually becoming a cook serving a young king, she never once stops trying to change her fate for the better. Charizard: Pendragon based on the Brothers Grimm tale "The Two Brothers" The main villain in the second part of this story is a vicious five-headed dragon (Pente + Dragon). Pendragon (apparently) is also a title that refers to one as a leader. While it doesn't exactly fit with Midus in the group, I'd also like to think of him as the leader of villains. It's an unfortunate fact that Charizardonite X does not give Charizard four additional heads. Espeon: Siegfried based on Prince Siegfried from "Swan Lake" Originally I wanted him to become a Sylveon, but it turns out you need eevee to learn a fairy move plus maxing out its bond in Amie, so I ended up with a super fabulous Espeon instead. I regret nothing. Sylveon: Mythos based on a character from Princess Tutu. Mythos is a prince from a story who broke free along with his eternal rival to resolve their never ending battle in the real world after their author's death (He died before completing their tale). Mythos is also based off of Prince Siegfried, however he is a prince without a heart and it is something he quests for (in his own way) in the events of Princess Tutu. Others Lapras: Odette based off of Swan Lake's princess. Odette is a beautiful young princess who is cursed into the body of a swan. She rules the lake where she is kept as the Queen of the Swans and can only transform back into her human form at night. Snorlax: RipVanWinkle because he sleeps. A lot. I have even more, but I don't want to fill this entire entry up with Pokemon stuffs. After all, I still have Ace Attorney to nerd about. Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies is the newest game in the Phoenix Wright franchise. I have to admit that I was worried when I learned Apollo Justice was still alive in this game. However, being three cases into the game, I have to admit his character got a lot more appealing. It's not just because he's covered in bandages either; he really seems a lot better than he did in his debut. The cases don't get any less bizarre, however they are definitely worth playing through. The game also has a free bit of downloadable content where you can change the outfits of Athena, Phoenix and Apollo. Each character only gets one additional outfit, however, but it's still a cool little add on to brighten up and customize your game. Speaking of Athena, she's really growing on me as a character. She's definitely no Maya, but her skills and personality are very much entertaining. What's that, Billy? You decided to play these games on the 2DS? ... GET OFF MY LAWN! ~Tekulo <3

Okay, so I've been having a really good feeling about the next year lately and I had no idea why. Then I realized it was 2013. 13 has been my favorite number for quite some time. Friday the 13th has always been my favorite day ever. Every time that magical date appears, I always, without fail, have a good day. Nothing spectacular happens, but I guess it just brightens up my outlook on things. ^^ Anyway, here's to a new year filled with wonderment and other fancy words! Heck, you're even allowed on my lawn to celebrate! But don't break anything. >.> ~Tekulo <3

Reading the same story over-and-over gets boring after a while. I guess that's why I'm not into really mainstream things like Doctor Who or Glee (ugh, I hate that show), Lady Gaga or Harry Potter. I guess that's why I like to read, see and hear other things like Baccano and The Looking Glass (Brandy, you're a fine girl indeed. ^^), Princess Tutu, Cat Laughing Last and it may play a role in why I'm still a member on this site. I'm not saying the popular stories are boring... It's just... well, thinking about it there are several fans of the popular things. It's not uncommon to find a fan of Lord of the Rings or someone who worships Star Wars or Star Trek. It might sound hipster of me to say, but because those stories are so popular they have thousands of people who share common threads. In other words, people share something more in common and it becomes a "norm." It boggles my mind a bit to think so many people could have something like that in common sometimes. It's like they're one small step closer to being the same human, however small the trait they share turns out to be. Consider life to be a story; a story is interesting with the events that take place and the philosophy tied in, respectively. In the mainstream world, hearing the same songs over and over again and seeing the same stories unfold gets a bit... dull, I suppose. Once not long ago I worked at an office where co-workers would play the radio every day for eight hours. Now, where I worked there were around six to seven people working together depending who had the shift that day. One of the employees, when she could have her way, would play a radio station that exclusively played songs including "Moves Like Jagger," "Firework" and other mundane garbage. Though, to be fair, they did also play Adel... once every few hours... Those were the only good songs on the station in my opinion. The radio station, only sporting around a total of ten or so songs, would repeat day after day after day. In other words; I was listening to the same music time and time again. Although I did enjoy a few songs, I would have preferred more variety. Looking at popular culture as a whole, I suppose I view mainstream entertainment as I do that radio: I don't deny that the stories have potential and that I could easily enjoy them. I just prefer to have the many, many existing fans to have their fun in my stead. One less Doctor Who fan isn't going to kill anyone. Oddly enough, I have received some backlash for this way of thinking, however. I was in conversation with a group of my peers once, and I mentioned that I didn't like Lady Gaga. It was then I was attacked with the question "Well, what do you listen to then?!" to which I replied "video game music" as I had been listening to a lot of remixes at the time. The reply was "You're going to limit yourself to that?" The funny thing was, I thought they were limiting themselves to Lady Gaga. XD There was also another incident where one of our older peers (a very kind woman and a great friend) mentioned to the younger generation that she had not read, and didn't intend, to read the Harry Potter series. Like a pack of wolves everyone in the room seemed to pounce for the kill, bombarding her with "OMG, Y U NO READ THE BOOKS?!" and "WHAT?!" the tone was along the lines of blasphemy for just not following the crowd. I chimed in and said that I too had no intention of finishing the series past book four (the last book I'd read as a kid). They seemed to grumble to themselves and quiet down. I was just thankful that they stopped with their prejudice (and over something as trivial as a book series no less XD). So, I suppose that's why I'm not into Stargate or The Avengers and why I have little interest in Batman movies or other things of the sort. There's already quite a following for those titles, and I've heard of those stories before. What catches my eye, when I walk into the store, are strange things I've yet to see. I love being strange and learning new things. I suppose I've seen a Harry Potter fan before, and I have met Lady Gaga fans before. It isn't every day I meet someone else who likes Erik Satie or Dancing in the Moonlight or Princess Tutu or Rin. I love people that I think are interesting and I prefer it if everyone could expand their horizons a bit and let other things define them. Complexity is a wonderful thing, and I just wish people could see the full spectrum of light instead of the shades of gray in the world.

I reiterate; Lin Befong is awesome. (Also, Korra. Can't wait for the second half of season one to be released).

... is totally fun. XD It's nice having a few other brains to pick while developing a story. I gotta say, I'm looking forward to it. We've been playing around with a title, but I don't think we've officially approved it yet. In any case, the story takes place in the distant future from where Bionicle left off (so it looks like we'll omit most of those cliffhangers from the serials). Ancient villains, new heroes and a world unseen. Keep your eyes open from the latest works (well, technically the first collaborative work) of the Assembly of Wordsmiths (My Name is Nulie, AZBlue and some random hobo who keeps shouting in the blog section. Something about kids who refuse to keep off of the grass or whatnot). Now then Billy, GET OFF MY LAWN! ~Tekulo <3
